Missed this on Wed, still need to get internet at our new house, and I hadn’t seen it on the news.
Hot rod entrepreneur Boyd Coddington died on Wednesday of undisclosed cause. He will be missed by many in the hobby, even if his management style (as shown on the show American Hot Rod) wasn’t respected. He had a sharp eye for customizing.
Coddington died Wednesday at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in suburban Whittier. His La Habra office spokeswoman Amanda Curry wouldn’t disclose the cause of death.
UPDATE:
More info is available here:
Coddington, a longtime diabetic, died Wednesday at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in Whittier of complications stemming from a recent surgery, said publicist Brad Fanshaw.

Instead of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Coddington Foundation to benefit a variety of charities.
Donations may be addressed to Coddington Foundation, 811 E. Lambert Road, La Habra, CA 90631.
Didn’t know he was diabetic. It is so important to maintain your blood sugar, and regularly visit the doctor when you’re a diabetic. And even with careful care, complications can still arise. That’s what I have to look forward to as I age.
